The Olde Book Purse has to be the gift inspired by the special women in LeVar Burton's life. Just imagine one of them frantically looking for important personal item while he sits back, all smug-like, and waits for that magic moment. "LeVar? Honey, have you seen my phone?" his wife would ask. "Mmphhehehehehe..." ...
Spread the news from coast to coast: Funko POP! Vinyls are enshrining Space Ghost. Fans of both the obscure hero's bygone 1960s Hanna-Barbera cartoons and the much more memorable "Space Ghost Coast To Coast" late-night talk show satire will be thrilled to know Space Ghost is set to his store shelves and online ...
For a network with a seemingly preternatural gift for cocking up shows brimming with potential, Fox deserves its due for the rare and compelling moments when they get it right. The recent revival of "The X-Files" filled us with so many throwback feels that reminded us just how much there was to love about Mulder and ...
An epidemic is spreading through the Star Trek community much like the infestation of the Enterprise in episode 44, but this time its worse than Weebles. Star Trek fans are being assimilated by the Borg Cube Mug, its true, they made a coffee cup cubed shaped! The Borg will stop at nothing to reach their goal – ...
Disney has produced a lot of films over the years, but the movie 'Tron' is one that has reached iconic proportions. It was the first movie of its kind, where a person could meld into the processing world of the computer, and then mingle with other beings/computer programs in their struggle over good and... bad ...
Similar to the way bugs are attracted to the light, the stars in the night sky draws the attention of the human imagination. Some people that are passionately drawn to the heavenly realm of stars have gone so far as to install sky lights, to let the light from the night sky shine into their homes, so that they can ...
Who says you have to grow up and stop believing in unicorns? No matter how old you are, unicorns never get old, they are timeless, mystical creatures that appear to those worthy of their pure magic. If you still believe in unicorns, or you just like the way they look because of their colorful cuteness, then you can ...
There's a war of attrition afoot just under your nose. More accurately, right beneath your kneecaps. The whole of your landscaping hangs in the balance with only one certainty: whether gnomes or trolls emerge victorious, something short and ugly will rule over your rhubarb. We're placing our bets on the Turf War ...
Is it better to be fashionable or functional? Tony Stark would say, is it too much to ask for both? It isn't like anything the Marvel universe's foremost Genius Billionaire Playboy Philanthropist Co-Founder of the Avengers does lacks flair. After all, what's a bleeding-edge suit of armor without a little hot-rod ...
For every Hollywood blockbuster, there's a "What if...?" to ponder. What if Dave Chappelle hadn't passed up playing Bubba in "Forrest Gump"? What if Jon Peters had actually found someone to fulfill his epic vision of a flightless Superman battling a giant mechanical spider while Brainiac throws down with polar bears? ...
You can hear the Dark Lord's words so clearly, if you listen, “Harry Potter” in a cold, soft, slow spoken haunting voice. You can imagine, that is about the time when Harry looks down at his watch and decides it is 'time' to leave, but it's not just any watch, it's the Deathly Hallows watch, and it's real! The face ...
Surprise! With all due respect to The Doctor, we won't belabor explaining the curious Nooka Zub Zirc watch with one more hamfisted joke "wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey" joke about an alternate non-linear representation of the passage of time. Credit where it's due, though, we love the intuitive way the watches visual mass ...
There aren't too many artistic media left that Nintendo has yet to conquer. From nearly four decades of acclaimed groundbreaking and iconic video games to musical tributes and licensed cartoons, comics, merchandise and toys ranging from Happy Meal collectibles to interactive Amiibos, there isn't much new ground left ...
We're willing to bet Mother's Day and Father's Day cast one indescribably awkward combined pall over the Skywalker family. After all, Anakin kind of made sure his kids would never get to treat Padme to brunch over mimosas. Later, his best friend started Anakin's son down a path that eventually cost Luke his hand and ...
There are some characters that cardboard standees, Funko POP! Vinyl statues or Fathead stickable wall adornments just don't begin to do justice. Just how exactly do you honor Deadpool, Marvel's inimitable fourth-wall demolishing Merc With A Mouth, with anything less than a full-size tribute in full color with ...
Ladies and Gentlemen, step up and present your, ahem, DualShocks with pride. Three years ago, the PlayStation Controller Bra & Bro elevated co-op multiplayer to an intimate level Sony probably never anticipated. If they had been so visionary, then someone would have probably convinced Tecmo that the PlayStation ...
We have never celebrated May the Fourth as heartily as this year's arrival of our favorite nerdy holiday, thanks to 12 months leading into it with more brand-new Star Wars content than we've ever had laid before us in a single year in franchise history. Think about it. "The Force Awakens" was every bit the return ...
OK, so Deadpool fondly wears a charming little "Adventure Time" watch so as to never be a second late when it's time to make the chimi-f***ing-changas...metaphorically when killing calls or when it is literally time to lightly fry a burrito. We like to think there's a parallel world in which Finn's own wrist is ...
Veteran devout gamers allow their passion for play to seep into every other nerdy passion we can. We are effectively responsible for the rise of an entire genre rooted in the unmistakably charming 8-bit sounds that erupted from Nintendo's pioneering NES console and became the hymns of our childhood Saturday and Sunday ...
We aren't exactly sure where the shimmering Hologram Backpack originated. Truth be told, we don't really care. We only know that we've never so obsessively wanted to lug our miscellaneous daily crap around in the style of a futuristic high schooler in some cyberpunk anime. The safety benefits of the Hologram ...
Because of Bluetooth technology people can go anywhere they wish and bring their music and devices with them, without the need of cords. There are myriads of kinds of Bluetooth speakers today that come in all shapes, sizes, colors and themes you can possibly imagine, but the most popular of late are the levitation ...
R2-D2 is everywhere, printed on shirts, bed sheets and pillows, pencils and papers, and now he's appeared on an oven mitt. If you need a little help in the kitchen handling hot stuff, then this little R2-D2 unit will come in handy. With R2's picture printed over the complete oven mitt it looks decorate either ...
There's an all-important lesson about time-travel preparedness that didn't necessarily come across in "Back To The Future" as clearly as it could have: when headed back to the past, don't assume that every modern convenience you aren't accustomed to living without today will be available on every street corner. ...
Cosplay is a diverse and colorful art form that calls strongest to the self-starter. The inherent value placed on detailed craftsmanship can be enough to intimidate otherwise interested fans right out of diving into crafting their own ensembles and props. Fortunately, Russian cosplayer Jannet stands out as an ...
Why don't you go “fly a kite?” Actually, that is a great idea! With smartphones, tablets and Wi-Fi, kids aren't getting the outside time they need. Basic fun stuff like flying kites is something foreign to children today, its sad, but true. Well, now you can change that with these Star Wars themed kites, they will ...
Sure, you're special. In more senses than the "My mom thinks I'm cool" kind, even. You aren't "the Special" until you've terrified the dog next door with Flybrix, the world's first and only official Make Your Own LEGO® Drone Kit. It looks like something a charming rapscallion 'tween lead in a mid-'90s family film ...
If time could manifest into a tangible form inside an hourglass, what would we see? Would it really be little more than the smooth surface of a single perfect dune? Or would we see something as dynamic as the passage of time itself, a physical representation of every small moment being drawn into the next, piling ...
It's been 27 years since the world needed saving from your average shit that will turn you white. This June, we'll be more than ready to welcome not just a new quartet of Ghostbusters to the fight for New York City and all human reality as we know it, but seven brand-new Funko POP! Vinyl figures marking the occasion ...
These are a set of dishwater safe Star Wars kitchen droids that can securely hold anything that you can fit inside them. Obi-Wan Kenobi knew he could trust these little R2 units to keep things safe, and so can you. Whether it is rebel coffee grinds or Wookie cookies, you can be assured that your stocks of supplies ...
"Ghostbusters" fans have waited a good, long while for a new chapter to introduce New York's finest paranormal protectors to a whole new generation and reunite us O.G.s (y'know, Original Ghostbusters) with all the charm of the originals. We've waited 27 years, to be more or less exact. Damn right, we'll snap up every ...
We can't begin to guess how we haven't become acquainted with kitschy novelty suit purveyor OppoSuits before now, but we can no longer bear to look into our closets without seeing one of each set of dapper duds awaiting us. In fact, let's start with this dashing ode to Pac-Man, the reigning King of Quarters, ...
When the original Star Trek came out, it was an epic success that opened the world's eye to the possibility that civilizations from other worlds exist, finding them was the mission of the Enterprise crew. While playsets were common back in the 70's and 80's, this playset was different in that it took kids' ...
Since the beginning, R2-D2 has been one of the main characters of the Star Wars franchise for many reasons, he is adorable and has a positive attitude. This makes him the perfect device for holding and distributing 'cookies'. Kids love R2-D2 and cookies, so it just makes logical sense to have him as a ...
Oh, sure. Any wide-eyed youngling who sees a Star Wars movie for the first time forever more looks at every hand-sized cylinder from a bare paper towel tube to a generous vibrator (we don't owe you an explanation for everything) and imagines a lightsaber the way an obsessive stoner can look at a ballpoint pen and a ...
Some things are timeless, like legos, they will always be remembered because of how 'fun' they are to play with. Much like legos, Minecraft – the hugely popular computer game that generates worlds where the player manipulates these in every way, block-by-block – will go down in the history book of entertainment as ...
Everything is fun when you're kid because their imagination is free to see life as a game, and that’s how children learn, by playing games, its instinctive. The best part of being a kid is that you can act anyway you want and no one will judge you harshly, kids do it all the time – pretending to be cartoon ...
Every so often, a morning comes along that just begs for a fistful of gamma rays. Pack a wake-up punch worthy of the Avengers' big green machine with this Hulk Shaped Mug and smash that Monday-morning drag. Just like Bruce Banner's inner pissed-off "other guy", there's nothing average about this mug. This big boy ...
We depend on our phones to say a thousand mouthfuls between texts, snapshots, emoji, social media, and when we desperate times call for desperate measures, actually calling someone. If you've ever thought to yourself, "I couldn't be more obvious if I said it with an electric sign," then you have no reason not to dress ...
Night time can be a scary time for kids outside, especially if there are no lights around, as monsters could lurk in the shadows behind trees and rocks. Fortunately, woodland fairies can be rounded up for their bright, magical glow and imprisoned in glass jars to light the way for human children. Sounds barbaric, ...
The creators of all the vehicles and robots seen in Star Wars no doubt had a passion for designing technical space-aged 'stuff', and to do that they used architectural desks which were eventually encased in drawing of droids and robots, like C3-PO and R2-D2. Well, now, you can capture that same passionate spirit ...
In space, no one can lend you change to do laundry. Thanks to all the obviously completely unexpected mayhem and carnage wrought by Weland Yutani's insistence on trying to smuggle acid-filled apex predators instead of exterminating them, sound banking probably isn't exactly sitting atop anybody's priorities. So, ...
Mind if we level with you for a moment? Here goes: you can't tame a unicorn. We don't mean that no human is so bold, strong, and noble. We're saying, you couldn't put a Pomeranian in its place, let alone a majestic, powerful horned horse of legend. Now, an eight-foot Floaty Inflatable Rainbow Unicorn? Well, we're ...
How in the name of George Lucas did it take this long for a Build-A-Bear Wicket the Ewok to bring balance to the cuddly side of the Force? When the ewoks were released upon an unprepared world of Star Wars nerds with 1983's Return Of The Jedi, the divided response made the way Jar Jar Binks would eventually be ...
Just one thing escapes us: when it comes to two iconic champions of the power of imagination, how in the world did it take almost 16 years for LEGO to release its first 18-character Minifigure collection of Disney's most famous faces? Well, the 18th LEGO Minifigure collection is certainly better than "never". From ...
If we could be so blessed as to chat with the late Kurt Cobain and Layne Staley today, we have to wonder what the two inimitable faces atop the Mt. Rushmore of Grunge would have to say about the new faces of Dr. Marten's. You can't say they'd ever expect the boots that stomped mudholes in many a '90s mosh pit and ...
Let's be generous with our count and estimate that we could probably fit everybody who has experienced up-close-and-personal looks at the Millenium Falcon's cockpit since 1977 into a commercial airliner's coach seating and have generous room to spare. Not only that, but those charmed few are nearly entirely cast and ...
We nerds have needs. Coffee is more than just our earthy breakfast treat. It's what fuels us to craft, code, game, read and binge-watch endless long hours after the rest of the world has tapped out. Still, these DC Funko Pop! Mugs play into a norm that would be...well, awkward to explain to extra-terrestrial ...
If we had the decision to make all over again, we wouldn't go near Nintendo's SUPER MARIO MAKER. Oh, make no mistake. Miyamoto has given us another wonderland. Trouble is, we can't escape the godlike allure of whimsical world-building. We need that outpouring of creativity like YouTube commentators need spellcheck. ...
Now these are some throw rugs that are 'out of this world'! If you are looking for something different, like a soft rug you can lay down in front of your fireplace during the cold months, when you feel like watching a moving on the floor, or just any time the kids want to play, then you can lounge on one of these ...
